(Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson) Don't leave me, don't leave me here On the dark side of the world My days are darker than your nights Since I lost you babe Since I lost you babe I'm like an ember Fading out of sight One more tear and I know I'll disappear Bring back the sunshine That you took away Cause I need ya And I want ya Just don't think I'm gonna make it without your love Don't you know Such a loneliness I've never known Since I lost you babe Since I lost you babe I'm like a woman who once knew splendour Now all her wealth and riches They are gone Bring back the sunshine That you took away Cause I need ya And I want ya And I just don't think I'm gonna make it without your love Bring back the sunshine that you took away Now my future lies in back of me Since I lost you babe Since I lost you babe I walk this lonely road to eternity Just despair and emptiness everywhere Bring back the sunshine That you took away Cause I need ya And I want ya I just don't think I'm gonna make it without your love Don't leave me, don't leave me here On the dark side of the world Oh don't you leave me here On the dark side of the world Cause I need ya Ooh you know I want ya Right here on the dark side of the world
